ALA Booklist (Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 CST 2021)

In these entries in the Sports Biographies series (6 new titles), high/low readers are presented with basic introductions to the exploits of rising stars in a variety of popular sports. Mookie Betts tells of "the grand slam of all baseball players," highlighting his many awards and championships. Each volume concludes, somewhat jarringly, with a page on the subject's philanthropic work. Double-page spreads lean heavily on sharp, full-color photography of the athletes in action, incorporating only a few sentences into the attractive layout, and this minimal approach leaves room for only the most basic chronology of accomplishments for each subject. While pertinent vocabulary is highlighted in the text and defined in a glossary, the lack of context surrounding the given information means that readers will need to come to the subject with some understanding of the featured sport, fitting for a high/low readership but perhaps limiting for younger early readers who may find interest here. Back-matter links to online resources lead to more robust information.
